التابوت

1 ثُمَّ صَنَعَ بَصَلْئِيلُ التَّابُوتَ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ (نحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَرُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً). 2 وَغَشَّى جُدْرَانَهُ الدَّاخِلِيَّةَ وَالْخَارِجِيَّةَ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، وَجَعَلَ لَهُ إِطَاراً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 3 وَسَبَكَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَهَا عَلَى قَوَائِمِهِ الأَرْبَعِ، حَلْقَتَيْنِ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ. 4 وَصَنَعَ عَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ غَشَّاهُمَا بِالذَّهَبِ. 5 وَأَدْخَلَهُمَا فِي الْحَلَقَاتِ الْمُثَبَّتَةِ عَلَى جَانِبَيِ التَّابُوتِ لِيُحْمَلَ بِهِمَا. 6 وَصَنَعَ بَصَلْئِيلُ غِطَاءً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ وَرُبْعِ الْمِتْرِ) وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً) 7 وَخَرَطَ كَرُوبَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ أَقَامَهُمَا عَلَى طَرَفَيِ الْغِطَاءِ. 8 فَصَنَعَ كَرُوباً وَاحِداً عَلَى كُلِّ طَرَفٍ مِنَ الْغِطَاءِ، مَخْرُوطَيْنِ مِنَ الْغِطَاءِ نَفْسِهِ، وَقَائِمَيْنِ عَلَى طَرَفَيْهِ. 9 وَكَانَ الْكَرُوبَانِ مُتَوَاجِهَيْنِ بَاسِطَيْنِ أَجْنِحَتَهُمَا إِلَى فَوْقُ، يُظَلِّلانِ بِهِمَا الْغِطَاءَ، وَيَتَّجِهَانِ بِوَجْهَيْهِمَا نَحْوَهُ.

المائدة

10 وَصَنَعَ مَائِدَةً مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ طُولُهَا ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ) وَعَرْضُهَا ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَارْتِفَاعُهَا ذِرَاعٌ وَنِصْفٌ (نَحْوَ خَمْسَةٍ وَسَبْعِينَ سَنْتِيمِتْراً). 11 وَغَشَّاهَا بِالذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ. وَصَنَعَ لَهَا إِطَاراً عَالِياً مِنَ الذَّهَبِ. 12 وَأَحَاطَهَا بِحَافَةٍ عَرْضُهَا شِبْرٌ. وَصَنَعَ لِمُحِيطِ الْحَافَةِ إطَاراً مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 13 وَسَبَكَ لَهَا أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَهَا عَلَى زَوَايَا قَوَائِمِهَا الأَرْبَعِ. 14 فَكَانَتِ الْحَلَقَاتُ الْمُثَبَّتَةُ عَلَى الْحَافَةِ أَمَاكِنَ لِعَصَوَيْنِ، تُحْمَلُ بِهِمَا الْمَائِدَةُ. 15 وَصَنَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، وَغَشَّاهُمَا بِالذَّهَبِ لِتُحْمَلَ بِهِمَا الْمَائِدَةُ. 16 أَمَّا صِحَافُ الْمَائِدَةِ وَصُحُونُهَا وَكُؤُوسُهَا وَأَبَارِيقُهَا الَّتِي يُسْكَبُ بِها، فَصَاغَهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ.

المنارة

17 وَخَرَطَ الْمَنَارَةَ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ، فَكَانَتْ قَاعِدَتُهَا وَسَاقُهَا وَكَاسَاتُهَا وَبَرَاعِمُهَا وَأَزْهَارُهَا كُلُّهَا مَخْرُوطَةً مَعاً مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ، 18 وَلَهَا سِتُّ شُعَبٍ. يَتَفَرَّعُ مِنْ كُلِّ جَانِبٍ مِنْهَا ثَلاثُ شُعَبِ مَنَارَةٍ. 19 وَفِي كُلِّ شُعْبَةٍ ثَلاثُ كَاسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِبُرْعُمٍ وَزَهْرٍ. وَهَكَذَا إِلَى السِّتَّةِ الأَفْرُعِ الْمُتَشَعِّبَةِ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ. 20 وَعَلَى الْمَنَارَةِ أَرْبَعُ كَاسَاتٍ لَوْزِيَّةٍ بِبَرَاعِمِهَا وَأَزْهَارِهَا. 21 وَجَعَلَ تَحْتَ كُلِّ فَرْعَيْنِ مِنَ الأَفْرُعِ الْمُتَشَعِّبَةِ مِنَ الْمَنَارَةِ بُرْعُماً، وَهَكَذَا فَعَلَ لِلسِّتَّةِ الأَفْرُعِ. 22 فَكَانَتْ بَرَاعِمُهَا وَأَفْرُعُهَا الْمَصْنُوعَةُ مِنَ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ، مَخْرُوطَةً كُلُّهَا مِنْ قِطْعَةٍ وَاحِدَةٍ. 23 وَصَنَعَ لَهَا سَبْعَةَ سُرُجٍ مَعَ مَلاقِطِهَا وَمَنَافِضِهَا مِنْ ذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ. 24 فَكَانَ وَزْنُ الذَّهَبِ الْخَالِصِ الْمُصَاغِ فِي صُنْعِهَا وَصُنْعِ أَوَانِيهَا وَزْنَةً (نَحْوَ سِتَّةٍ وَثَلاثِينَ كِيْلُو جِرَاماً).

مذبح البخور

25 وَصَنَعَ مَذْبَحَ الْبَخُورِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ، فَكَانَ سَطْحُهُ مُرَبَّعاً، طُولُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ)، وَعَرْضُهُ ذِرَاعٌ (نَحْوَ نِصْفِ الْمِتْرِ) وَارْتِفَاعُهُ ذِرَاعَانِ (نَحْوَ مِتْرٍ). وَكَانَتْ قُرُونُهُ مَخْرُوطَةٌ مِنْهُ. 26 وَغَشَّى سَطْحَهُ وَجُدْرَانَهُ وَقُرُونَهُ بِذَهَبٍ خَالِصٍ. وَطَوَّقَهُ بِإِطَارٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ. 27 وَصَنَعَ لَهُ أَرْبَعَ حَلَقَاتٍ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ، ثَبَّتَ كُلَّ اثْنَتَيْنِ مِنْهَا تَحْتَ الإِطَارِ عَلَى جَانِبَيْهِ، لِتُوْضَعَ فِيهَا الْعَصَوَانِ اللَّتَانِ يُحْمَلُ بِهِمَا الْمَذْبَحُ. 28 وَصَنَعَ الْعَصَوَيْنِ مِنْ خَشَبِ السَّنْطِ الْمُغَشَّى بِالذَّهَبِ 29 وَصَنَعَ دُهْنَ الْمَسْحَةِ الْمُقَدَّسَ وَالْبَخُورَ الْعَطِرَ النَّقِيَّ كَمَا يَصْنَعُهَا عَطَّارٌ حَاذِقٌ.

New International Version

The ark

1 Bezalel made the ark of acacia wood – two and a half cubits long, a cubit and a half wide, and a cubit and a half high.^[1] 2 He overlaid it with pure gold, both inside and out, and made a gold moulding around it. 3 He cast four gold rings for it and fastened them to its four feet, with two rings on one side and two rings on the other. 4 Then he made poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 5 And he inserted the poles into the rings on the sides of the ark to carry it. 6 He made the atonement cover of pure gold – two and a half cubits long and a cubit and a half wide. 7 Then he made two cherubim out of hammered gold at the ends of the cover. 8 He made one cherub on one end and the second cherub on the other; at the two ends he made them of one piece with the cover. 9 The cherubim had their wings spread upwards, overshadowing the cover with them. The cherubim faced each other, looking towards the cover.

The table

10 They^[2] made the table of acacia wood – two cubits long, a cubit wide and a cubit and a half high.^[3] 11 Then they overlaid it with pure gold and made a gold moulding around it. 12 They also made around it a rim a handbreadth^[4] wide and put a gold moulding on the rim. 13 They cast four gold rings for the table and fastened them to the four corners, where the four legs were. 14 The rings were put close to the rim to hold the poles used in carrying the table. 15 The poles for carrying the table were made of acacia wood and were overlaid with gold. 16 And they made from pure gold the articles for the table – its plates and dishes and bowls and its pitchers for the pouring out of drink offerings.

The lampstand

17 They made the lampstand of pure gold. They hammered out its base and shaft, and made its flowerlike cups, buds and blossoms of one piece with them. 18 Six branches extended from the sides of the lampstand – three on one side and three on the other. 19 Three cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms were on one branch, three on the next branch and the same for all six branches extending from the lampstand. 20 And on the lampstand were four cups shaped like almond flowers with buds and blossoms. 21 One bud was under the first pair of branches extending from the lampstand, a second bud under the second pair, and a third bud under the third pair – six branches in all. 22 The buds and the branches were all of one piece with the lampstand, hammered out of pure gold. 23 They made its seven lamps, as well as its wick trimmers and trays, of pure gold. 24 They made the lampstand and all its accessories from one talent^[5] of pure gold.

The altar of incense

25 They made the altar of incense out of acacia wood. It was square, a cubit long and a cubit wide and two cubits high^[6] – its horns of one piece with it. 26 They overlaid the top and all the sides and the horns with pure gold, and made a gold moulding around it. 27 They made two gold rings below the moulding – two on each of the opposite sides – to hold the poles used to carry it. 28 They made the poles of acacia wood and overlaid them with gold. 29 They also made the sacred anointing oil and the pure, fragrant incense – the work of a perfumer.
